The residents reported the woman – identified as Shaquanna D. Jackson, who turned 32 over the weekend – got into the home and yelled for a “Trey” and a woman, police said.

Jackson is accused of grabbing a tire iron after she was pushed out of the home and smashing part of a half-circle of glass that is on the door frame, police said.
